Maybe he/she just wanted to draw a genderswap version, period. Only then applying whatever look/outfit he/she wanted to give the character. Same goes for the other genderswap pic you just commented on (fav.me/da31fqs). If you ask me, going from picture to picture just to state how you're upset with how an artist wishes to draw a male or female rump, without even offering any further feedback on the rest of the picture, sort of makes you look like a jerk.

I'm not saying that what YOU, personally, wish to see/find is bad or an unreasonable desire. But I don't think you should use it as an excuse to just go around randomly interrogating people who just wish to draw a harmless piece of art in a manner THEY desire.

I suppose though, to give you the benefit of the doubt, I also have to ask - What do you truly hope to accomplish, by posting such comments, so randomly, on assorted pieces of art?

What do YOU hope to accomplish by being a stalker of my comments (when you're not even a watcher of mine) and point out things you don't like that I do? You always only "help" me in negative ways. "Don't do this, don't want that, go do it yourself, leave others alone"... I mean, why is it only okay for you to complain, but not me? Get off your high horse for once, will ya?

But alright, do you wanna know what I did? I decided to be happy with the sexualization of Genji's butt from the Overwatch game, saw it as a nice inclusion. Yet, I see no artist care. I only see joke pictures of Genji's butt. But as soon as it's more well-made stuff like this? Genderswapped. And in these cases, it's obvious it's because the artists only want to draw female butts.

Because I truly think you should leave others to their own art, if you're not going to actually offer an opinion on the piece of art, but rather just question them as to why they just so happen to not do something YOU want/would like to see. It's their art, and their decision. Just like how no one has any right to simply post unconstructive comments that merely emphasize THEIR personal beliefs/agendas/etc. on any piece of art you might make. As for my help, maybe it's because I, personally, feel it's the advice you need to hear. As personal experience has shown me, getting "help" from people (in this sense) isn't always about them telling you what you want to hear; so much as its about them telling you what they think you need. That said, its only natural that what they say is going to seem "negative", but it's what's called constructive criticism (pointing out what you are maybe doing wrong, with hopes that you can then look back on it to better yourself/your behavior). I'm not complaining about anything, so much as I'm simply voicing how I (personally) feel about your actions.

Well first, I'm glad you were happy with what the game did. Beyond that, however, why do you feel you need to go around interrogating artists simply for drawing what they want? So most artists prefer drawing female butts. That's nothing new. It's their choice. Just like how it's your choice if you prefer to draw male butts in a similar fashion.

It's called freedom of speech, Andrew. I am not obligated to give constructive arguments. What you say about their art also applies to my comment in that case - "it's my comment", and "I can do whatever I want with it". Now, is it toxic for my own sake to do this? Probably. But, contrary to your belief - you responding to me this way won't help me avoid it. If anything, it just triggers me more to the opposite of what you want.

I've drawn female butts in my days. I'm just against people avoiding something like the plague based on double standards. People are free to draw what they want, but I'm also free to say what I want about it. But sure, maybe I shouldn't have left the comments. But you're not helping me. I'm sometimes feeling the urge to ask you to leave me alone, because you refuse to help me in any way that could work for me. It's not just about you "not saying what I want to hear" - my BFF Spike and my boyfriend Tyler have said things I don't wanna hear but need to hear to learn to grow as a person, and I ENCOURAGE that. But you only give me really rare glimmers of helpfulness, and for the most you act like a patronizing baby-sitter. It's so rare for us to have friendly conversations it feels like.

I don't know how to cope. I admit that. But my brain automatically goes into paranoia of people wanting to silence me whenever you do what you call "helping", no matter how well-intended you are.

"It's called freedom of speech, Andrew. I am not obligated to give constructive arguments. What you say about their art also applies to my comment in that case - "it's my comment", and "I can do whatever I want with it"."

Technically, true, but I guess I also never really felt that one's personal freedom of speech should be used as an excuse to just commit jerkish (or as you say, toxic) behavior, that is likely to just agitate people rather than result in anything truly productive/constructive.

"But, contrary to your belief - you responding to me this way won't help me avoid it. If anything, it just triggers me more to the opposite of what you want."

That sounds like an awfully immature way to react, but, ok. Like you said, its your personal freedom (this also goes for my previous point, too).

"I'm just against people avoiding something like the plague based on double standards."

What makes you so sure they're truly 'avoiding it', for the sake of some double-standard; versus simply drawing what they want to draw (without any underlying reasons or incentives)? If it's the latter, is that really any problem, and do you really need to penalize them for what they're doing?

"It's not just about you "not saying what I want to hear" - my BFF Spike and my boyfriend Tyler have said things I don't wanna hear but need to hear to learn to grow as a person, and I ENCOURAGE that. But you only give me really rare glimmers of helpfulness, and for the most you act like a patronizing baby-sitter."

If you're friends are also telling you things you don't want to hear, what is it that they're telling you that I'm not, that is actually helping? Because otherwise, technically, most of what I'm telling you, too, is stuff I (personally) think is what you need to hear in order to grow, as you said.

"I don't know how to cope. I admit that. But my brain automatically goes into paranoia of people wanting to silence me whenever you do what you call "helping", no matter how well-intended you are."

There in lies the problem. Just because my help mostly consists of (honest, constructive) criticism, you think I'm trying to silence your opinions/desires/etc. It has never been my intention to change your opinions, or eliminate your desire for any of the things you want. Much of my help, from what I can tell, is mostly in regards to attempting to give advice on how to cope and/or how to simply behave/react in the face of things that you just so happen to find less-than-pleasing.

"If you're friends are also telling you things you don't want to hear, what is it that they're telling you that I'm not, that is actually helping? Because otherwise, technically, most of what I'm telling you, too, is stuff I (personally) think is what you need to hear in order to grow, as you said."

Well, first of all, they try to be friends with me and not just nag at me all the time. Second, they try new things. They VARY with how they help me. Sometimes they say stuff to help cheer me up, other times they say harsh stuff I need to hear to snap myself out of something.

Look... I can act childish, I can act rude, I can act irrational. I'm trying to improve myself. I just don't get how you keep not knowing how to help me, yet you keep on and on and on and on and on and on trying to do the same things to "help" me over and over and over again, and you make me only memorize you for that alone. All it does is making me feel worse, Andrew. I'm sorry I can't give you a guide to how to handle me, but I'm just being honest how it feels right now.

Though, admittedly, it IS nice to see us have a conversation about something else now for a change with my newest journal.

"Second, they try new things. They VARY with how they help me. Sometimes they say stuff to help cheer me up, other times they say harsh stuff I need to hear to snap myself out of something."

Haven't I been doing this? Pointing out when you make strong points or reach productive conclusions/views; as well as giving you the more tough/critical advice that I also feel is worth saying?

"Look... I can act childish, I can act rude, I can act irrational. I'm trying to improve myself. I just don't get how you keep not knowing how to help me, yet you keep on and on and on and on and on and on trying to do the same things to "help" me over and over and over again, and you make me only memorize you for that alone."

If I knew how to help you (i.e., knew a surefire method), I probably would be adhering to that alone. Since I've yet to find that, I'm attempting different things. Which brings us to the second part. I thought I was trying different advice. In what way am I giving you the same stuff over and over?

I am basically a walking corpse in a walking prosthesis... but luckily my face wasn't damaged and my ass is still great! As sexy as this is, I'm not sure if I like this... kinda makes the character moot
